Meanwhile,back at the Ponderosa,everyone is awake from their naps. Hoss has his brothers Jamie and Little Joe in his room,and he has his sister Tabatha in his room as well. They have the door closed,and they are talking privately. Hoss talks to his brothers,and sister for a few minutes.
Hoss exclaims to his brothers,and sister,"Pa told me sow this earlier today he is preparing the house for a new arrival she should be coming sometime this next week. I think Pa is going to give us a new sister."
Little Joe,Jamie,and Tabatha respond back to Hoss,"Ok,we already know this Pa has already told us that to."
"Pa told me that Adam doesn't know yet,and we can't tell Adam anything."
"Yes,Pa told us that as well he doesn't want Adam to know what's going on."
"Ok,then we just have to make sure that we don't tell Adam then."
"Oh,we won't."
"Ok."
Jamie,Little Joe,Tabatha,and Hoss finish up their conversation. The children enjoy their free time before dinnertime. Adam of course still doesn't know whats going on,or what his family has been talking about because Adam is in jail for committing a crime.
